The Dead Mouse

I’ve typed so much, and moved so much text around – not to mention manipulating images on the PowerPoint – that my mouse has died.

Yes, it has been another working weekend – I’ve edited and resubmitted a librarianship article to a librarianship journal, licked my seminar paper about Sir John Macgregor Murray into its final, polished shape, and totally indulged myself sourcing suitable images for the PowerPoint!   No kidding – I have had to abandon the mouse, which I’ve left twitching at the back of my desk.  It has had a long and interesting life.

I do have a day-trip planned for this week, to the archives of the Royal Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland.  I’m off to inspect more Macgregor Murray documents – I can’t NOT see them!  It has been an interesting assignment, because I’ve found out so much more about him than I knew at the time of writing my PhD.

And then … back to grant-writing.  And thoughts of Stationers’ Hall music, amongst other things!
